Problem with the charging system or main battery. Your car is running off of the auxiliary battery and is shutting off non-critical systems. Your brakes take priority over blowers and what-not. Search and you will find many, many posts on this.
Just search on the term "W211 electrical consumers turned off".

The car can not run on auxiliary (SBC) battery.
That warning can indicate several different problems and in my case I had not torqued battery clamp bolts.
The car would start just fine and keep the voltage just fine, but occasionally message would appear and the darn thing killed AC blower.
Reading errors with SD would narrow the problem, but if you don't have easy access - starting with cleaning electrical connections has good chance to clear it.

Once again, did you clean and torque the connectors?

Well... those cars are not forgiving nonchalant owners.

no need, just clean the ports real well, sand it a bit with fine sandpaper and wipe with dry cloth then make sure you re-tighten it well.

could be anything, voltage regulator, alternator or even a faulty battery. Get tripple a to jump start your car and bring it to an indy with a scanner that knows mb's.

i can't believe how much this site as changed, everyone knows everything.
that warning means what it says, shutting off consumers due to low batt voltage.
either your batt is on the way out or something is draining it, start with that.
for the trunk, were you able to turn the mechanical key?, if yes that trunk should open by holding the key turned and squeezing the handle together
